retary Of the Treasury. The only dudish-
looking member of the group is Brother
Endicott, Secretary of War but appear
ances, which are often deceitful, are con-
spicuously 80 on this occasion, because
both he and Secretary. Lsmas, though
fond of dress and noticeably attentiys.
to personal appearance, are the last mon
in the Cabinet to be charged with dnd-s
ism or sympathy with that Offensive d.
velopment of recent years.
But my friend has returned and VIII
briefly catalogue the more noticeable Of
the other pictures.
Here for instance Is Horace Greeley;
| with his old white coat, his Galway slug
gers, his gold spectacles,a his wesk, pu-
Grille mouth, his blue eyes, which could
be mild or vindictiye as circumstances
dictated, and his collar, as usual, with one
side up and one side down. Immediately
over him is steel engraving of the man
to whom New York and Brooklyn arc
indebted for the magnificent steel struc-
ture which, stretching from shore to
mon family. William G. Kingsley, .
| toll pornt ohio man with lar0a head
and q larger heart, the one who first
thought of any practical shape, who first
stepped toward practical beginning OF
the Brooklyn bridge, and who lived to
see it completed, had face as marked a.
any determined forceful character ever
saw. He was not only great, but good |;
and yet doubt If of the millions who
cross that marvellous exhibit of human
ingenuity every year ten men, women or
children could tell you who he was, where
he came from or whether he is dead or
living. The customary picture Of George
Washington crossing the Delaware, tn
most impossible attitude, is side by side
with an admirable portrait of 6tillman
s. Conant, the missing editor Of Horpcrt
Weekly, and it rests on bust of Henry
Ward Beecher with broken nose and
by the side of AIRY Scheffer's glorious
picture of La Tentation du Christ, with
steel engraving of the Old Dutch
Church, later the postoflce, ON William
street, which was pulled down TO make
Gently erected and photographs in little
and in big of minor authors, newspaper
men and actresses of the current time. Z
Queer selection, isn't II?
And IS suggestive as 1t is queer.
